Heart & Encouragement 

It's interesting when some days feel exciting and full of possibility while other days others ask for way to much from us. On those days, encouragement is much needed. It doesn't always need to arrive with this big grand speech but sometimes we simply need just a few encouraging words that help keep us going. 

​

Here are five tips to carry with you. 

​

1. You don't have to have everything figured out today ~ Some answers are only visible after we have taken the next few steps. 

​

2. A slow season can still be a growing season ~ Not every kind of progress is easy to see. But your roots grow before flowers will appear. So keep watering your roots daily. 

​

3. Beginning again is still moving forward ~ Your plans change. Your past doesn't define you. Failure is a learning lesson. Dreams evolve but sometimes by changing direction it is exactly what allows us to discover where we're ment to go next. 

​

4. Don't overlook how far you've already come ~ We naturally notice the negative and what's unfinished. Every once in a while, turn around and recognize the things you once hoped for, worked through, learned or survived. Be proud of what you've done. 

​

5. Keep something beautiful in front of you ~ A goal. A photo. A garden. A favorite prayer. A place you'd like to visit. A dream you're still building. Create your own vision board.  

 

For your take away: Hope often grows when we give ourselves something meaningful to look forward to. You don't need to know what the entire road looks like. Just keep enough courage, strength for your journey and take the next steps. Some of the most meaningful chapters in your life begin small when you meditate quietly and make decisions to keep moving forward.  Thanks for being here.
